Mustang VS Charger photoshoot

Had some time to hang out with my budy and his 'Stang today. We setup some shots on the camera in outta the way places - out in the woods and a $2.7million abandend building (was built for Excelsior-Henderson Motorcycles, but they went belly-up within the first year, the building has been vaccant for about 6 years).

(he modified his tail lights so the outter and inner bulbs work for the brakes/blinker and all 3 light up for the parking lights; doesn't really show too well in this shot)

We got attacked by killer grasshoppers on the way around the back of the building - damn things were everywhere and seemed to like sticking to us...

When I had the SRT fascia installed, I refused to drill holes for the plate mount. That lasted 4 months, got nailed for no front plate 3 times in ONE DAY. So, I made a bracket that bolts on to the underside of the main "bar" of the front bumper and can be removed for shows. It was quicker to make the bracket offset as there was less design time for clearances. It also has a benefit; being offset to the right, most cops in my area setup speedtraps in the center median with the "pull-over" cars in the right ditch - being the plate is angled down and to the right, it makes it harder to get a fix on the plate, forcing them to hit the headlight, which by then I would have already slowed to the limit. I know it works as I've been pulled over by 3 cops to this date who said they couldn't get a fix on my speed, but know I was over the limit and all they could do was give me a verbal warning.

Radar/laser doesnt detect the speed of your car by the license plate. it bounces the signal off of your entire car..... the license plate has no affect on speed detection equipment. we have tested this.... Deputy for 4yrs

this is true i've ran radar and never had to fix on a plate it sends out a beam and it bounces off vehicle returns back and wala i know your speed radar is cool one of the best part's of being a cop IMO.
